From Stewart Morris
Andrew Robinson says that the Rosetta Stone was “dated 27 March 196 BC” (3 February, p 46). The people who carved out that stone were really clever!
The editor writes:
• We could find neither a hieroglyphic nor an Ancient Egyptian Cursive font, and though we expect our readers are familiar with 2nd-century-BC dating systems, we decided to translate anyway.
